Costs
As of 13 December 2007, the costs of ordering the cards is:
- 1 county card-Two unaffixed first class stamps (68p)
- 5 county cards £1.50 (30p/ card)
- England Region A or B £5.20 (roughly 25p/ card)
- Wales £2.10 (roughly 26p/ card)
- Scotland £4.32 (roughly 25p/ card)
- Whole U.K. £15.15 (roughly 23p/ card).
It can be seen that there is notable economy of scale, and that for someone wanting to attempt the whole British Cycle Quest should order all cards at once, also because of the cost to the individual of sending the order form.

Famous quotes containing the word costs:
“It is commonly said by farmers, that a good pear or apple costs no more time or pains to rear, than a poor one; so I would have no work of art, no speech, or action, or thought, or friend, but the best.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When over Catholics the ocean rolls,
They must wait several weeks before a mass
Takes off one peck of purgatorial coals,
Because, till people know what’s come to pass,
They won’t lay out their money on the dead—
It costs three francs for every mass that’s said.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“The real price of everything, what everything really costs to the man who wants to acquire it, is the toil and trouble of acquiring it.”
—Adam Smith (1723–1790)
